Description of the problem	I purchased my hyundai sonata on 12/31/2010. It has 39,000 miles on it now. Hendrick hyundai of charleston sc has informed me the steering column coupler needs to be replaced and has quoted me a repair cost of $243. I declined their offer of repair, but have become concerned as the steering has begun to exhibit an increasingly loose feeling. Following my inquiry to consumer affairs at hyundai motor america, i have been informed this would have been covered under their 5 year 60,000 miles warranty, but since my vehicle is beyond the 5 year period, the warranty does not apply. As a result of my internet search, i have found this part was part of a recall for vin numbers not including mine, and that there have been numerous complaints filed with nhtsa about this issue. I suspect the fault with the part failure lies with hyundai, and i resent having to pay for the repair, which i now intend to have the dealer perform because i am concerned about the safety risk.. I further resent that hyundai has not been more pro-active about a repair issue that i suspect could be life-threatening should steering be lost at highway speed, resulting in a crash.
